Massachusetts Federation of Republican Women - Winter 2008 Newsletter

From the President's Desk

Dear Members and Friends:

Our Annual Meeting in October was hosted by the Winchester Republican Women's Club. Guest speakers were the Honorable Peter Torkildsen, Chairman of the Massachusetts Republican Party, Lt. Col. Jim Oganowski and Jane Lane, Vice President of N.F.R.W. A big "thank you" to the W.R.W.C. for their hospitality and support.

Let's meet in Worcester on Saturday, April 12, 2008 for the Annual Lincoln Luncheon hosted by the Women's Republican Club of Worcester County (invitation to follow).

Please mark your calendars for our Annual Meeting, to be hosted by the Middlesex Republican Women's Club, on Saturday, October 18, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. Festivities will include installation of officers, outstanding Republican candidates for election, plus a delicious luncheon at the Westford Regency Convention Center.

The 2008 Presidential Election is well underway. I trust you all participated in the Massachusetts Republican Primary. Super Tuesday revealed that Senator John McCain had more support in the larger states than our Governor Romney.

I stayed up late hoping for better news for Mitt; however, it wasn't meant to be this election cycle. Truthfully, I felt sad and disappointed. However, I'm proud of the great speech Governor Romney made to explain the suspension of his campaign for the good of the Party. He's a great leader and made me feel proud of the race he ran. I'm hopeful he'll run for President again after Senator John McCain, an outstanding American hero, wins and completes his term of office as our next President. Our country needs strong Republican leadership during these difficult times. Senators Clinton and Obama are not prepared to lead our great nation. Let's join ranks and do all we can to elect John McCain President of the United States of America. As President Abraham Lincoln stated, "A house divided against itself cannot stand."

Respectfully yours,
Carol L. Sneden
